The training will take place in May, prior to a production-based Assistant Script Editor placement for each member of the scheme, earning the DN23 cohort what is likely to be their first broadcast credits. The roles will vary depending on demands of the production, while taking into account participant experience, location and requirements. The placements will span a twelve-week period between May – September. The Duly Noted scheme consists of a fully-funded week long bootcamp training in a fully accessible venue, in Central London, which will prepare the cohort for on-the-ground placements in production which will follow the workshop stage, and will be based all over the UK. This year, in 2023, we will target the regions and the nations of the UK, investing in work across the UK, which is imperative to the mission of Duly Noted. In 2022, we saw the profoundly positive impact of adding professional placements to the scheme. This year, after reflecting on our DN cohorts so far, we have a specific focus on increasing the representation of participants from all over the UK! We have considered the formula of the scheme, injecting funding into regional and national placements, and increasing opportunities for people outside of London. Our joint ambition is to scale up and skill up this year’s cohort. We’re excited to collaborate so closely with partners who share a passion for changing our landscape. Now, for Duly Noted 2023 (DN23), we plan to deliver wholly inclusive training with the support of the BBC and Sony Pictures Television, with additional support from Screen Scotland. We selected a skilled, bright and brilliant final cohort: Andrea Royer, Annie Lockhart, Jon Champion, Lily Shahmoon, Mpona Lebajoa, and Zak Abby. As a result, DN22 invited applications from all people from historically excluded groups this included aspiring script editors who identified as Deaf, disabled, neurodivergent, LGBTQ+ and from lower socio economic and/or ethnically diverse backgrounds. We decided that approaching it singularly reinforces barriers. Then, for Duly Noted 2022 (DN22) we had a better understanding of the range of exclusion in scripted television. Eventually we selected five promising, talented, and kind individuals: Andin Ngwa, Amir Amirsolimani, David Cheung, Marissa Ogbeide, and Uju Enendu. The launch exceeded our expectations, with more than 200 applications. The workshops were designed to skill up aspiring script editors, arming them with a practical understanding of production and a support network. We launched Duly Noted 2021 (DN21) as a training programme for people in comedy and drama development.
